The Nebraska Signal
April 1916


On Sunday occurred one of the largest funerals ever held in this community, when F. J. Sieber Sr. was buried.

Frank Sieber Sr. was born in Hermsdorf, northern Bohemia, on August 18, 1837. He was the only son in the family of fourteen children. He served his time as a soldier in the Imperial Franz Joseph Regiment in the state capital of Hungary. Mr. Sieber also took the course in the military accademy to become an officer of Austrian Army, but circumstances called him home to be of help to his father as he was the only son. He also took part in the war against Italy in 1859.

Mr. Sieber was married to Helen Heine. To this union six children were born, two sons and four daughters. One of the children, Mrs. Fujan, died twenty-two years ago.

Mr. Sieber came to this country in 1870. He intended at first to go to Wisconsin, but being in this country changed his mind, and came to Nebraska. He took a homestead May 5, 1870, in Fillmore County. Mr. Sieber was one of the
first settlers of this vicinity. He lived continuously on his original homestead until his death. He visited his old home country twice in 1903 and 1906.
